“Why are the people around me so difficult?” “Why do I keep getting in situations like this?” Our shadow side, teaches Robert Augustus Masters, contains the emotions and desires we've disowned, neglected, or hidden from ourselves. If not skillfully worked with, it can easily direct our lives on every level.

With Knowing Your Shadow, this acclaimed psychotherapist and author shows us how to illuminate and wisely engage with the endarkened aspects of who we are. Join him to explore in depth the areas where shadow work can most benefit us, including:

Discovering and cultivating intimacy with the endarkened aspects of yourself

Identifying and healing your core wounds

Working effectively with anger, fear, shame, guilt, and other difficult emotions

Understanding how your shadow influences those around you, often beyond conscious awareness

Guided practices, meditations, and exercises for developing more authenticity and wholeness in your personal and workplace relationships, your sexuality, and your spiritual path

Our moods and relationships often seem to have a life of their own. Knowing Your Shadow offers exceptional support for taking charge of your life at a deep level, providing expert guidance and instruction to discover and make wise use of what lies hidden or otherwise neglected within us.

I found this because it was referenced in To Be A Man, so I put that book down until I'd located and listened to the whole thing.

It was what I needed, when I needed it. Covered a lot of areas that I hadn't even considered looking at, let alone facing and embracing, and I'm in no doubt that this experience has been pivotal in my ongoing growth, healing and awakening.

I may even spend more time with this before going back to To Be A Man. It's such a powerful set of tools for addressing everything that is covered in the book that it makes sense to me to leverage it as much as I realistically can.

I was looking forward to receiving this audio set, having done previous shadow work, yet was deeply disappointed upon listening to it. I'm sure that Robert Augustus Masters' expertise has helped many people in his practice and other areas. Yet I had hoped for more information on "the shadow," and found the meditations to be simplistic as well taking up the better part of the recorded time. And I really didn't like the mono sound of his voice.
As a result, I've returned it. I have certainly enjoyed all other items I've ordered from Sounds True, and expect that to continue to be the case.

Powerful and useful content. Exceptionally helpful guide through the layers of process and growth. Clear and insightful, very accessible exercises. Of the many resoources I ordered on this topic, this is by far the most profound.

Ah yes, The Shadow. This is a very deep and well
presented program. I could only get through the
1st half of the 1st CD before I had to take a break.
The information is not only informative but very
challegening. Opening oneself up to our own
Shadow side is like walking on a tightrope over the
Grand Canyon. Take it slow and tread lightly if one
does not have a group or therapist to assist. I have
49 years of Buddhist meditation and 30 years of intense mind/body therapy behind me and I found
it exhilerating and terrifying at the same time.

I have quite frankly side-stepped this focus on my own shadow most of my life. I am sixty-three years of age. Dr. Masters' program has quite gently eased me into a much deeper study, acceptance, and even transmutation of my own shadow. As well, this awareness has left much more tolerant and less judgmental and loving of others. This is a program that one can learn to use everyday of one's life. Thank you, for making this program available.

I purchased this for during the 70% off promotion, but for me, I still overpaid.
If you intend to sit down and simply listen to these sessions in privacy, you may get more benefit than I can.
I listen to programs while driving or during my daily walks and thus cannot participate in the many meditations that are sprinkled into this teaching. I had to give up after the second CD, as I was continually fast forwarding past the meditations.
I wish the product description would have been a bit clearer on the type of program this was. I have enjoyed interviews I have heard with Masters, but this just seems too narrowly focused to apply to any but a small minority of listeners.

This should be part of any high school program. To deal with our own emotions in an intimate way makes so much sense. This is a lot confusion out there about this, so much unnecessary pain and frustration.
Robert cleans up in this and makes it simple to navigate, take action and reclaim lost parts of our selves. Great work.

The content is pretty good. The narrator races through some very probing and emotional exercises that do not give time for proper reflection. Also, his voice tone is not compatible with some of the content.

I liked the program very much. However, the product itself was difficult to use. I wanted to listen to it on my ipad, but there are no chapter or section breaks. On my computer, under windows explorer, I could see section/chapter breaks, but I didn't want to take my lap top with me everywhere.

I purchased this program because I heard Masters speak in the Sounds True "Self-Acceptance" series. I listened to this "Knowing Your Shadow" program and, unfortunately, I could not relate to most of the examples, I did not like his style of meditation, and he purposely brings up the uncomfortable for you to work on in the meditations but does not take care to bring you back to a positive state. Although I appreciate what I gained from the Self-Acceptance talk, in my opinion, this CD set has little to offer for the time (6 hours) and expense.

Succinct and direct in its goal of helping one face what is denied. That which is denied in oneself can gain power and manifest itself in unpredictable and troublesome ways. This is a means to face that and help turn its energies into a positive force!

This is extremely useful and valuable material. I have used it myself and recommended it to my clients, and the results are truly amazing. I have seen people be able to first distinguish, and then own and take responsibility for ways of being and behaviours that were coming from fear, shame, abandonment, abuse, trauma, that in conjunction with the work we were doing, catapulted the effectiveness of the therapeutic work to a different level. The way the work is presented also has allowed people to use the cd set for working with different events where the same emotion or issue was present and get a lot out of it time and time again. Robert Masters' voice is appropriately stable and containing, so I found it easy to go to difficult places in my own work. The level of skill that he has in guiding one is fitting with his name: truly masterful. I highly recommend it if you are serious about dealing with your shadow.

This audio program is excellent -- I thought it was accessible for people new to deep inner work, but also very supportive for those of us who have been exploring our conditioning and shadow for a while. I've had the privilege of working in person with Robert Masters as a client and student, and I think this audio program offers a really good taste of what his work is all about. While it can be uncomfortable to face the parts of us that we most want to hide away, the rewards of doing so are huge -- more freedom, less self-judgment, healthier relationships, and more. Highly recommended!

Meh. Fair. The narrator is boring- no prosity, flat monotonous voice that puts me to sleep. The set has some promise, but the delivery and flow of this set is below professional grade. Not too inspired.

This set of CD's is a real gift to those of us who are serious about working on, understanding and accepting ourselves.
Robert Masters speaks with clarity and great depth about many emotional challenges that we ALL encounter: fear, anger, shame, guilt, obstacles to real intimacy, our inner critic, to name but a few.
The guided practices and meditations are also perfect tools to enhance emotional integration into who we truly are.
The last two CD's (bringing sex and spirituality out of the shadows) carry a very profound message for all of us.
I highly recommend these Cd's.

The best audio program I've listened to! The author skillfully guides you into thinking, then feeling and there are so many valuable exercises that keep it fun and interesting. It's like downloading an entire year of therapy -- therapy that actually works. The program is simple, no fancy words or technical jargon, yet it's comprehensive and encompasses a wide range of practical education, training, meditations, real-world examples and so much more. Recommended to all!

"Knowing Your Shadow" is an invaluable resource for anyone who is interested in living a more deeply embodied and grounded life. I found the guided practices and meditations incredibly helpful in identifying the ways in which my core wounds and conditioning have been playing out in my life while developing a deeper compassion for myself. I highly recommend this audio program.

Knowing Your Shadow Audios is an amazing offering. I found each CD to be truly helpful, offering incredibly valuable insights into the nature of our shadow and emotions. The guided experiential exercises were profoundly useful in meeting my shadow in a healing way and experiencing deeper intimacy with all of who I am. I would recommend this CD set to anyone who is interested in living a life from a deeper ground of authenticity, intimacy and empowerment.

“Knowing Your Shadow” opened the door to a way of working with myself that has offered real rewards. The many exercises helped to ground the material in my own experience and led to numerous insights. I highly recommend to anyone looking for support in integrating the dark and the light, and to uncover what may be holding you back from a deeper, more embodied experience of life.

I loved this audio program...lots of great insights and exercises. Working with my shadow has changed my relationship with myself. Thanks Robert Masters and sounds true for bringing this work into the world!
